This homeowner in Durham, NC was experiencing common signs of crawl space structural issues, including sagging floors above, uneven surfaces, and weakened support beams. These symptoms are often caused by failing or undersized support posts and shifting soil conditions beneath the home, which can no longer properly support the weight of the structure.
To correct the problem, our team installed the SmartJack support system throughout the crawl space. These adjustable, galvanized steel posts are designed to provide strong, long-lasting support by transferring the weight of the home to stable soil below. Each SmartJack is set on a solid base to prevent settling and can be precisely adjusted to help lift and level the floors above.
With the SmartJack system in place, the home is now properly supported, reducing floor sag and restoring structural stability. This solution not only improves the feel of the floors but also protects the home from further structural damage giving the homeowner peace of mind for years to come.
This Durham, NC homeowner was experiencing common crawl space issues caused by excess moisture and an aging vapor barrier. In the before photo, the crawl space shows exposed soil, damaged insulation hanging from the floor system, and a deteriorating vapor barrier that was no longer providing effective protection. These conditions can contribute to elevated humidity levels, musty odors, poor indoor air quality, and potential damage to the home's structural components over time.
To address these concerns, our team installed a durable crawl space encapsulation system, sealing the crawl space floor and support piers with a heavy-duty vapor barrier. The encapsulation helps block ground moisture, creates a cleaner and brighter environment beneath the home, and supports healthier indoor air quality throughout the living space above. The result is a protected crawl space designed to help control moisture and provide long-term peace of mind for the homeowner.
A Durham homeowner contacted us about cracks in the concrete around their home. After evaluating the property, our crew installed SmartJack supports and a supplemental steel beam to stabilize the floor system. A vapor barrier was also installed to help control ground moisture and create a cleaner, drier crawl space.
When purchasing his new house, this customer was informed by an inspector that the vapor barrier in the crawl space would need to be replaced. This smart homeowner contacted the local professionals and our team installed a full crawl space encapsulation. Water doesn't stand a chance against this space anymore!
